Going to the Met Gala is basically like Fashion Graduation — congrats, you've made it! You're fashion! But beauty is sometimes pain, and Yara Shahidi has no time for that.

As Luka Sabbat documented on his Instagram Stories, the Grown-ish actor wasted no time in kicking off her heels once inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art... literally. In the photo, Yara can be seen proudly displaying her Christian Louboutin heels in one hand, a gleeful smile on her face. Hey, you try walking up those entry steps in stilettos — I can barely walk in a straight line in flats without wanting to trip over myself.

At the event, which celebrated the opening of the Costume Institute's "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination" exhibit, the actor wore a pearlized Chanel tea-length gown and a pert fascinator. The look was downright heavenly, but Yara's inside-the-party adjustment served as a crucial reminder: When you see only one pair of stiletto marks, it was then that she chose comfort over foot pain.
